I took these photos during Phase II Scorpion Operations in 1969. At the time, I was the XO on the the USS Apache (ATF-67). We towed the USS Whitesands (ARD-20) with the baythsacphe Trieste (DSV-1) in her drydock bay. The cruise and on-site operation in the Atlantic lasted from January 1969 until late November (early Dec??) 1969. . . . . (Click on photos to enlarge the image.)

About Me

After over a million words spread over a couple thousand pages, I am going to have to discontinue my dozen Blogger blogs and shift to WordPress. You can find my new consolidated blog at
www.MatrixMasters.com ... I host the Psychedelic Salon podcasts, which may be found at www.PsychedelicSalon.org ... In these podcasts you can hear talks by people such as Terence McKenna, Alex Grey, Daniel Pinchbeck, Sasha Shulgin, Timothy Leary, Nick Sand and many others.

Wouldn't it be great to find out what has happened to all of these people in the 35+ years since this picture was taken? What triumphs and tragedies befell this interesting group of characters, I wonder.
